They are just different layouts for Gnome, but it’s annoying that they call what is essentially a donation to them a Pro edition. A donate button would likely make more as it feels philanphropic.
This is a good point, particularly in the context of value for new users. My comment is more regarding the precedent of framing desktop environments as some sort of premium feature. I do question how much value users still get out of that though, since so many Linux distros have communities that provide essentially the same service for free with a bit more labour on the user.

I think it is very purposeful that Zorin has expansive marketing and frames features in terms of price value.
You do realize that includes support, right? Last time I checked, that is very much not a donation.

I personally found value in having that straight out of the box, curated and distilled down to what works and looks good.
